With nothing left for him there,

00:33
he leaves for the big city,

He ends up living in a tent city
12

00:46
on the outskirts of Mogadishu.
13
34296

位在摩加迪休郊區。
00:49
Maybe a year passes, nothing.
14
37000

He's given a bit of money

25
62752
2805
他開始新生活。
01:17
He has a purpose in life.
26
65557
2926
他的生活有了目標。
01:20
One beautiful day in Mogadishu,
27
68483
2774
在摩加迪休某個風和日麗的日子，
01:23
under an azure blue sky,
28
71257
2888
蔚藍晴空下，
01:26
a car bomb goes off.
29
74145
2521
汽車炸彈爆炸了。
01:28
That small town kid with the big city dreams
30
76666
3195
懷抱大城市夢想的小鎮男孩
01:31
was the suicide bomber,
31
79861
2248
是那名自殺客，
01:34
and that dynamic group of people
32
82109
2358
而飄忽不定的那群人
01:36
were al Shabaab, a terrorist organization
33
84467
2369
是索馬里青年黨，一個恐怖組織，
01:38
linked to al Qaeda.
34
86836
3681
與蓋達組織結盟。
01:42
So how does the story of a small town kid
35
90517
2872
這個故事怎麼會
從小鎮男孩在大城市創造大夢想
01:45
just trying to make it big in the city
36
93389
1821
01:47
end up with him blowing himself up?
37
95210
2830
變成他炸了自己？
01:50
He was waiting.
38
98040
1972
他在等待。
01:52
He was waiting for an opportunity,
39
100012
1898
等待一個機會，
01:53
waiting to begin his future,
40
101910
1782
等待能展開他的未來，
01:55
waiting for a way forward,
41
103692
2035
等待一個前進的方向，
01:57
and this was the first thing that came along.
42
105727
2379
而這是第一件出現的事。
02:00
This was the first thing that pulled him out
43
108106
2414
這是第一件讓他擺脫的事，
02:02
of what we call waithood.
44
110520
2940
擺脫我們所謂的等待成年期 (waithood)。
02:05
And his story repeats itself
45
113460
2296
他的故事不斷重演，
02:07
in urban centers around the world.
46
115756
2416
發生在全世界的市中心。
02:10
It is the story of the disenfranchised,
47
118172
2754
這故事是關於喪失公民權的
02:12
unemployed urban youth
48
120926
1808
失業城市青年
02:14
who sparks riots in Johannesburg,
49
122734
3943
在約翰尼斯堡引發暴動，
02:18
sparks riots in London,
50
126677
2334
在倫敦引發暴動，
02:21
who reaches out for something other than waithood.
51
129011
4654
他們期待得到某種東西，
而非等待成年期。
而非等待成年期。
02:25
For young people, the promise of the city,
52
133665
2664
對年輕人來說，城市給的承諾意謂著，
02:28
the big city dream is that of opportunity,
53
136329
2694
大城市夢想就是
02:31
of jobs, of wealth,
54
139023
2155
那樣工作和財富的機會，
02:33
but young people are not sharing
in the prosperity of their cities.
in the prosperity of their cities.
55
141178
3741
但是年輕人分享不到城市的繁榮。
02:36
Often it's youth who suffer from
the highest unemployment rates.
the highest unemployment rates.
56
144919
4098
青年往往有最高的失業率。
02:41
By 2030, three out of five people living in cities
57
149017
3193
到了 2030 年，60% 的城市居民
02:44
will be under the age of 18.
58
152210
2560
會低於 18 歲。
02:46
If we do not include young people
59
154770
1764
如果我們不把這群年輕人
02:48
in the growth of our cities,
60
156534
1819
納入城市發展的考量，
02:50
if we do not provide them opportunities,
61
158353
2479
如果我們不提供他們機會，
02:52
the story of waithood,
62
160832
2022
這樣等待成年期的故事、
02:54
the gateway to terrorism, to violence, to gangs,
63
162854
2913
通往恐怖行動、暴力、幫派的途徑
02:57
will be the story of cities 2.0.
64
165767
4175
將成為城市 2.0 的故事。
03:01
And in my city of birth, Mogadishu,
65
169942
3161
在我出生的城市摩加迪休，
03:05
70 percent of young people
suffer from unemployment.
suffer from unemployment.
66
173103
3690
有 70% 的年輕人受失業所苦。
03:08
70 percent don't work,
67
176793
2378
70% 的人不工作
03:11
don't go to school.
68
179171
2027
也不上學。
03:13
They pretty much do nothing.
69
181198
2425
幾乎是什麼事都沒做。
03:15
I went back to Mogadishu last month,
70
183623
3516
上個月我回到摩加迪休，
03:19
and I went to visit Madina Hospital,
71
187139
2010
去了一趟梅迪納醫院，
03:21
the hospital I was born in.
72
189149
2048
我在那間醫院出生。
03:23
I remember standing in front of that
73
191197
2025
我記得站在
03:25
bullet-ridden hospital thinking,
74
193222
2978
那彈痕累累的醫院前想著
03:28
what if I had never left?
75
196200
2033
如果我從未離開，會是什麼樣子？
03:30
What if I had been forced
76
198233
1193
如果我被迫
03:31
into that same state of waithood?
77
199426
2519
擁有那種等待成年期的狀態，
會是什麼樣子？
會是什麼樣子？
03:33
Would I have become a terrorist?
78
201945
4011
我會變成恐怖分子嗎？
03:37
I'm not really sure about the answer.
79
205956
2891
我不太確定答案是什麼。
03:40
My reason for being in Mogadishu that month
80
208847
2168
那個月我到摩加迪休的原因
03:43
was actually to host
81
211015
1547
其實是要主持
03:44
a youth leadership and entrepreneurship summit.
82
212562
2547
一場青年領導與企業家精神的高峰會。
03:47
I brought together about 90 young Somali leaders.
83
215109
2996
我聚集了 90 名索馬利領袖。
03:50
We sat down and brainstormed on solutions
84
218105
2246
我們齊聚一堂，集思廣益，
03:52
to the biggest challenges facing their city.
85
220351
2876
希望能解決各自城市
面臨的最大挑戰。
面臨的最大挑戰。
03:55
One of the young men in the room was Aden.
86
223227
3402
其中有名年輕男孩叫亞丁，
03:58
He went to university in Mogadishu, graduated.
87
226629
4455
他在摩加迪休唸大學，之後畢業了。
04:03
There were no jobs, no opportunities.
88
231084
2189
那裡沒有工作，沒有機會。
04:05
I remember him telling me,
89
233273
1718
我記得他告訴我
04:06
because he was a college graduate,
90
234991
2808
因為他是大學畢業生，
04:09
unemployed, frustrated,
91
237799
2750
失業又失意，
04:12
that he was the perfect target for al Shabaab
92
240549
2397
他會是青年黨和其它恐怖組織
04:14
and other terrorist organizations, to be recruited.
93
242946
3052
吸收的完美對象。
04:17
They sought people like him out.
94
245998
3878
他們找出像他這樣的人。
04:21
But his story takes a different route.
95
249876
3096
但是他的故事走了另一條路。
04:24
In Mogadishu, the biggest barrier
96
252972
1937
在摩加迪休，從甲地到乙地
04:26
to getting from point A to point B are the roads.
97
254909
3253
最大的阻礙是道路。
04:30
Twenty-three years of civil war
98
258162
1783
23 年的內戰
04:31
have completely destroyed the road system,
99
259945
2231
完全催毀道路系統，
04:34
and a motorbike can be the easiest way
100
262176
2009
摩托車是最容易
04:36
to get around.
101
264185
1630
四處移動的方式。
04:37
Aden saw an opportunity and seized it.
102
265815
3241
亞丁看見機會，緊緊抓住。
04:41
He started a motorbike company.
103
269056
2125
他開了一間摩托車店，
04:43
He began renting out motorbikes
104
271181
2291
開始租摩托車
04:45
to local residents who couldn't normally afford them.
105
273472
3300
給那些通常買不起車的當地居民。
04:48
He bought 10 bikes, with the help
106
276772
2021
他買了十台摩托車，
04:50
of family and friends,
107
278793
1698
仰賴親友協助，
04:52
and his dream is to eventually expand
108
280491
1733
他最終的夢想是要在三年後
04:54
to several hundred within the next three years.
109
282224
2981
擴展到幾百台車。
04:57
How is this story different?
110
285205
2568
這個故事怎會不同？
04:59
What makes his story different?
111
287773
2357
是什麼因素讓他的故事不同？
05:02
I believe it is his ability to identify
112
290130
2830
我相信是他的能力讓他
05:04
and seize a new opportunity.
113
292960
3338
發現和抓住一個新機會。
05:08
It's entrepreneurship,
114
296298
2031
那是企業家精神，
05:10
and I believe entrepreneurship can be
115
298329
1759
我相信企業家精神可以成為
05:12
the most powerful tool against waithood.
116
300088
2978
對抗等待成年期最強而有力的工具。
05:15
It empowers young people
117
303066
1770
它賦予年輕人權力，
05:16
to be the creators of the very economic opportunities
118
304836
3380
讓他們成為自己不顧一切
05:20
they are so desperately seeking.
119
308216
2498
去追求的商機的開創者。
05:22
And you can train young people to be entrepreneurs.
120
310714
3682
你可以訓練青年成為企業家。
05:26
I want to talk to you about a young man
121
314396
2116
我想告訴你一位
05:28
who attended one of my meetings,
122
316512
2289
參與一場會議的年輕人，
05:30
Mohamed Mohamoud, a florist.
123
318801
2884
穆罕默德．馬穆特，一位花店主人，
05:33
He was helping me train some of the young people
124
321685
1683
他在高峰會幫我培訓一些年輕人
05:35
at the summit in entrepreneurship
125
323368
1437
學習企業家精神、
05:36
and how to be innovative
126
324805
1622
如何創新，
05:38
and how to create a culture of entrepreneurship.
127
326427
2767
以及如何建立企業家精神的文化。
05:41
He's actually the first florist Mogadishu has seen
128
329194
2497
其實他是摩加迪休 22 年來
05:43
in over 22 years,
129
331691
2684
第一位花店主人，
05:46
and until recently, until Mohamed came along,
130
334375
3264
直到最近穆罕默德出現，
05:49
if you wanted flowers at your wedding,
131
337639
1890
如果你希望婚禮上有花，
05:51
you used plastic bouquets
132
339529
1393
通常會用塑膠花束，
05:52
shipped from abroad.
133
340922
1586
從海外運來。
05:54
If you asked someone,
134
342508
1806
如果你問某個人：
05:56
"When was the last time you saw fresh flowers?"
135
344314
2275
「你最後一次看到鮮花是什麼時候？」
05:58
for many who grew up under civil war,
136
346589
2586
很多在內戰時期長大的人
06:01
the answer would be, "Never."
137
349175
2783
會回答：「從來沒有。」
06:03
So Mohamed saw an opportunity.
138
351958
1948
因此穆罕默德看見機會。
06:05
He started a landscaping and design floral company.
139
353906
4447
他開了一間景觀與花藝設計公司。
06:10
He created a farm right outside of Mogadishu,
140
358353
3308
他經營了一個農場，就在摩加迪休外，
06:13
and started growing tulips and lilies,
141
361661
2056
開始種鬱金香和百合，
06:15
which he said could survive
142
363717
1706
他說這兩種花能在摩加迪休
06:17
the harsh Mogadishu climate.
143
365423
2711
嚴酷的氣候下生存。
06:20
And he began delivering flowers to weddings,
144
368134
3698
他開始送花到婚禮上，
06:23
creating gardens at homes
145
371832
1933
為城市中的家庭和公司設計花園，
06:25
and businesses around the city,
146
373765
2604
06:28
and he's now working on creating
147
376369
1737
目前他在設計
06:30
Mogadishu's first public park in 22 years.
148
378106
3625
摩加迪休 22 年來的第一座公園。
06:33
There's no public park in Mogadishu.
149
381731
2099
摩加迪休沒有公園。
06:35
He wants to create a space where families,
150
383830
2329
他希望能創造一個地方，
06:38
young people, can come together,
151
386159
1651
讓家人、年輕人都能一起來，
06:39
and, as he says, smell the proverbial roses.
152
387810
4638
如他所說，聞聞傳說中的玫瑰花香。
06:44
And he doesn't grow roses because
153
392448
1956
附帶一提，他沒有種玫瑰，
06:46
they use too much water, by the way.
154
394404
4124
因為那要很多水。
06:50
So the first step is to inspire young people,
155
398528
4312
因此，要激勵年輕人的第一步，
06:54
and in that room, Mohamed's presence
156
402840
2192
在那個會議廳裡，穆罕默德的現身
06:57
had a really profound impact
on the youth in that room.
on the youth in that room.
157
405032
3476
對在場年輕人的影響非常深遠。
07:00
They had never really thought
about starting up a business.
about starting up a business.
158
408508
2587
他們從沒有真的想過要創業。
07:03
They've thought about working for an NGO,
159
411095

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Mohamed Ali - Human rights advocateHuman rights advocate Mohamed Ali fights terrorism with entrepreneurship.
Why you should listen
In urban hubs like Mogadishu, says Mohamed Ali, we're losing our brightest minds to terrorism and violence. Why not channel the energy of ambitious and eager young people toward innovation instead of destruction? Ali is doing his part to make this dream a reality. He is the Executive Director of the Iftiin Foundation, an organization that builds and supports young entrepreneurs to encourage a culture of change and innovation in Somalia and other post-conflict countries. Ali believes these untapped youths can become figures of hope for their communities and ultimately promote peace and stability in the region.
Ali is a founding member of End Famine, a campaign founded in 2011 aimed at promoting food security and eradicating famine worldwide, starting with the Horn of Africa. Ali has a law degree from Boston College Law School.
